The site is very susceptible to high winds with no nearby tall vegetation to
block winds. The landowner bought a sturdier high tunnel model that was rated
for wind and snow loads by the manufacturer. Concrete was used in every post
hole to help with the structure's stability and support.

The landowner is now able to grow productive and healthy plants for
local sales that without the high tunnel, would have been in poor condition or
not yielded any produce at all. Another benefit is that after his positive
experience working with NRCS he has since signed up for additional EQIP contracts to do more work
in other locations. He has also referred other local producers to NRCS for help
with their conservation needs.
